Review of Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) by Russell G — 16 Nov 2012
What perplexes me to this day is what makes this Halloween III? This is a completely different story with no connection whatsoever to the first two films. It does not take place in Haddonfield, there is no Michael Myers, Lori Strode, or Dr Loomis whatsoever.
It feels like a TV episode from Are You Afraid the dark or the Goosebumps TV series. While I liked those shows as a kid, they are not exactly high quality and that is not a good thing for a major production movie.
It is too light in spirit and never really gets scary. There is a mystery component to this that I liked but the resolution is subpar. The main issue with this is the incredibly low level of acting from the entire cast.
It offers a little bit of fun and manages to entertain during the Halloween holiday season but it is uninspired and should not be counted as part of the Halloween series.
